In this study, we showed that flowers appear to be a popular food source for howler monkeys when available. Fruit consumption was very scarce in the blooming season (n = 5), as almost no fruits were available during this time of the year on the Agaltepec Island. Therefore, consumption of fruits will be neglected in this discussion. Lactating females spent more time consuming food overall (186.9 ± 124.5 g, n = 77) compared to non-lactating females (120.60 ± 96.49 g, n = 136).
